Francis Rivera & Olga Fuentes
"My name is Francis Rivera. I am thankful that Olga has been able to help me with my daily needs for the past three years. If she couldn't provide care, I'd need an organized way to find someone I was compatible with, and competitive wages, so attendants would stay longer. That is why I support building the Consumer Workforce Council."

Time for the Consumer Workforce Council!
A Consumer Workforce Council will expand home care options for seniors and people with disabilities -- while improving wages and providing health benefits for the direct care attendants who serve them.
Tell our Legislators and Governor Rendell: It's Time for the Consumer Workforce Council!
